Thank
goodness for Jake....
Had he not devised a new family business model, the David’s were looking at a major downsizing initiative in 2009. Everything was up for consideration, too – including spinning-off the dogs and possibly returning one of the girls to the factory for a partial refund (I think Jesse is still covered under the original warranty – we still have all of the packaging). The fact is, with Shelly as CEO, costs - particularly on footwear and handbags, had spiraled out of control.

Yup’ - Jake's Bar Mitzvah “scheme” has paid off handsomely. As part of our restructuring effort, we will be holding Bar Mitzvahs weekly going forward until our friends start to catch on. After that, we will be holding them monthly. Jesse will stay with us for now but I am not sure about the dogs (see below). Shelly’s shoe collection is now listed on eBay.
About the Bar Mitzvah – he was spectacular and cool as a cucumber.
